Effect of minoxidil
Respected sir,
My dermatologist told me that i have male pattern baldness but i don't feel like that.
The reason is in my family history..no one gone bald before 40's neither my paternal side or maternal side...
Even my maternal grandfather still has hair in the age of 70-75 years
I want to know that should i use minoxidil 5%
As recommended by doctor or not
Also if i dont have pattern baldness or genetic reason..should discontinuing minoxidil cause any complications?
